5 Powerful Electric Sedans In India

All hopes now lay on the all-new BYD Seal, to re-ignite India’s interest in sedans

While there is an avalanche of SUVs in India, both ICE and EVs, sedans have taken a back seat lately. With crossovers and SUV-looking hatchbacks dominating what's left of the non-SUV market, the popularity of sedans only began to rise after the launch of the Skoda Slavia in 2021. Recently, BYD has attempted to revive the segment with its all-new Seal EV. That said, let's take a look at some other Sedan EVs in India that you can buy.
